Former Navy SEALs to speak at Minnesota military event

Retired Lt. Lawrence Yatch, of Mound, was a SEAL for 10 years. Retired Special Warfare Operator Eric Davis, of California, served 16 years in the Navy, including 10 years in SEAL teams. The two will speak about their experiences as SEALs and translate the principles they mastered into everyday life as a civilian, the Associated Press says.

The MMAF works to show appreciation for the sacrifices Minnesota service members have made by providing cash grants to every Minnesotan who has served in a combat zone since the Sept. 11 attacks, according to its website.
